Making Job Search Easier by Finding the Great Companies First

Why is Tesla on MediaJobs.com? Because software is media and software is the engine of today’s car. For decades we’ve been promised that the future of cars is right around the corner. Flying cars, self-driving cars, electric cars, you name it. In the last decade we’ve finally seen some strides being made on every automotive front imaginable, but then horrible products like the Chevy Volt drive us right back to our old standard gas-guzzling cars of yesteryear. But despite the shortcomings or outright failings of many of these attempted advances, there’s one company that has been a pleasure to watch and anticipate – Tesla. Tesla Makes Real, Great Electric Cars Tesla is a true revolution in the automotive industry, and their vehicles are nothing short of awesome. The only downside is that for the average person they have been too far out of our price range.

Well that was fast, relatively speaking, we’re talking about Blockchain of course. Ever since Bitcoin hit the scene a few years ago there has been massive skepticism and concern over the use of crypto-currency, primarily by governments and multi-national businesses that fear the loss of control to the public. Of course the Millennial generation has embraced this new frontier fairly whole-heartedly, with 92% of them firmly expressing their distrust of banks according to an early 2016 white paper published by Facebook IQ. While many people in the general public still don’t really understand what Bitcoin or crypto-currency is, or the technology behind it. But suddenly major corporations are embracing blockchain technology at a record pace, not necessarily for currency related issues but for other applications which can greatly benefit from the superior tracking abilities it enables.
